    RECALL HISTORY // NUTRISOURCE

    1 FDA Recall On Record

    OCT 11, 2021
    ELEVATED LEVELS OF VITAMIN D

    Pure Vita Salmon Entrée Dog Food Matched by brand. The notice lists the exact products and lots.

    None in the last three years. Older events stay on the record. See the recall log

    Choice Whitefish Meal & Rice 24.4% Choice Turkey Meal & Barley 25.6% Choice Chicken Meal & Barley 26.7% Element Series Coastal Plains 37.8%

    Protein on a dry matter basis, read the same way.

    One honest caveat. These figures are what a label will tell us: protein, starch, the top of the ingredient list, flagged additives and the brand’s recall record. They cannot tell you whether your dog will do well on this food. Allergies, gut sensitivity, age and health conditions all matter more than any of it, and none of them are printed on a bag. If your dog is thriving on a food whose figures read lower than this one, that is not a mistake, and we would not switch on our say-so.
